Tiny Table Transformation.....again

Y'all know I am C R A Z Y when it comes to painting. I can't just paint a piece one time and leave it alone. Oh, no. I also have a habit of having more than one project going at a time. Last year at this time the sun room was being painted by me while Mr. Savvy added the beadboard wallpaper and trim in the powder room and then I had to paint that room. This year is no different.

I started stripping paint from a sofa table over a week ago and it is still not finished, but sweet Mr. Savvy is going to finish it this weekend for me. Then I painted this little table, that I am showing you now, in about thirty minutes one day last weekend. And if that wasn't enough I have finally started a much larger paint project that I never got to last year. If you follow me on Facebook I have been sharing snippets of the progress.

As you can see this table has many layers. The original color was a yellow like my breakfast room table. I purchased both tables painted that way. Then I painted this little table Aubusson in Annie Sloan chalk paint.

Well, I decided to paint it black with Miss Mustard Seed's milk paint in Typewriter this time.

I then highlighted the details with gold and love how it turned out.

A little wet sanding and then a coat of wax and voila.

You'll have to wait and see where I'm using it.

See you tomorrow for my guest post series. I want my guest poster's closet. Just wait till you see it.

Kim, love the table. If you don't mind me asking what type of wax do you use and where do you purchase it? Can't wait to see what all you are working on. Have a great day, even though it is raining and getting colder. Sheila

WOWZER Kim! I love the way it turned out. The gold accents make it perfect! Funny thing is I have a table very similar! You can see it in my previous too posts, next to a leather chair. Mine is in it original stained wood. That happens a lot with us lol.

This is my first time seeing the little table and it's so lovely. I WANT it for myself! It looks as though it has a story to tell, but we'll never really know all its secrets. Those gold touches are perfection, Kim.

You do such a great job with paint. I still have my Annie Sloan paints in the cans...trying to get brave enough for the project I have in mind. I'm sure you would whip through it in a couple hours...for us...it may take weeks!
